To-all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Pnn'nn JOANN-A MOLL,

. lowing is a specification.

a citizen of the United States, residin at Los Angeles, in the county. of Los Ange es and State of California, have invented a new and 'useful Garment-Supporter, of which the fol- This invention relates. generally. to garment supporters, and more particularly to a novel improvement in stockings, whereby'the latter, may be positively and comfortably supported without den or of tearing the mouth thereof as frequent y results with ordi- 'nar sup -o'rters in common use.

' as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists, generally stated,,in combining with the mouth hem of a stocking, and preferably with the tape secure apart by rows of stitches extending-transr.-

ith t e above and other objects in ,view,

interior thereof, a plurality of loops to be enaged by the clasp of an ordinary supporter.

hese loops. are separates-elements, or are formed by versel of the strip to form a series of loops,

desired.-

where y the su po'rter maybe disposed at any portion of t e mouth hem-that'may be scribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part oflthis specification and in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts, the figure is a view in perspective 1 equipped with t (providing a continuous strip of to the mouth hem, and spaced showing the 11 per portion of a stocking. e improvements of the pres ent invention. a Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the mouth hem of a stocking of any character.

.C ombined'with the inner side thereof, and adjacent to its upper edge, is a strip of ta e or webbing 2, that extends entirely aroun the interior of the mouth and is secured thereto by spaced rows of stitches, 3 that extend transversely of the strip and define a plurality of loops 4, any two, of which maybe engaged by a pair of clasps such as is usually employed inconnection with. garment supporters. H

Owing to the fact that the stitches that assemble the 100 s with the mouth hem pass through both t ioknesses of the latter, it will be obvious that liability of tearing the stocking will be practically obviated, so that an ob ection ever present in the use of ordinar garment su porters is-positively eliminate What is c aimed is: i

The combination with the mouth hem of a stocking, ofa len th of fabric extending entirely around an secured to the'inner side of the mouth'below its edge by transverse rows of stitches that define loops. Q

In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto'afllxed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
